<PAGE>
(ii) Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the
end of each calendar year, or, at the termination of Lease, within one hundred
twenty (120) days following such termination, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a
statement covering the calendar year just expired (the "Statement"), showing the
total of such charges, the amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share thereof for such
calendar year, and the payments actually paid by Tenant during such period. If
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of such charges exceeds payments made by Tenant, Tenant
shall pay Landlord the deficiency within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
Statement. If the estimated payments made exceed Tenant's Pro Rata Share
thereof, Landlord shall credit the excess against any amounts then owing or
thereafter becoming due from Tenant to Landlord. In any Lease Year which is not
a full calendar year, a proportionate reduction shall be made in Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of Common Area Maintenance Expenses. Tenant's liability for Common
Area Maintenance Expenses shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease for a period of one (1) year.
(iii) Tenant shall have the right, at its own expense and
at a reasonable time (after written notice to Landlord) within thirty (30) days
after receipt of the Statement to audit Landlord's books relevant to the
Tenant's Pro Rata share of Common Area Maintenance Expenses, Real Estate Taxes,
and Insurance due hereunder. In the event Tenant does not audit Landlord's
books and deliver the results thereof to Landlord within said 30-day period, the
terms and amounts set forth in the Statement from Landlord to Tenant shall be
deemed conclusive and final and Tenant shall have no further right to
adjustment. In the event Tenant's examination reveals that an error has been
made in Landlord's determination of Tenant's Pro Rata share of such charges, and
Landlord agrees with such determination, then the amount of such adjustment
shall be payable by Landlord or Tenant, to the other party as the case may be in
accordance with subparagraph (ii) hereof In the event Tenant's examination
reveals an error has been made in Landlord's determination of Tenant's Pro Rata
share, and Landlord disagrees with the results thereof, Landlord shall have
thirty (30) days to obtain an audit from an accountant of its choice to
determine Tenant's Pro Rata share of such charges. In the event Landlord's
accountant and Tenant's accountant are unable to reconcile their audits, both
accountants shall mutually agree upon a third accountant, whose determination of
Tenant's Pro Rata share of the charges shall be conclusive. (However,
regardless of the third accountant's determination, Tenant's Pro Rata share
shall in no event be more than Landlord's accountant's determination or less
than Tenant's accountant's determination). In the event the amount of error by
Landlord is determined by said third accountant to be five percent (5%) more,
the reasonable costs of the third audit made pursuant to this subparagraph shall
be paid by Landlord. In the event the amount of error by Landlord is determined
to be less than five percent (5%), the reasonable costs of the third audit made
pursuant to this subparagraph shall be paid by Tenant.
(h) LATE CHARGE. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment
by Tenant to Landlord of Base Rent, Additional Rent, or other sums due hereunder
will cause Landlord to incur costs which will be difficult to ascertain. Such
costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and
late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by terms of any mortgage or
trust deed encumbering the Project. Accordingly, except as expressly stated
hereinafter, if any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other sum
due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord within five (5) business days
after said amount is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge
of five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. All such charges shall be deemed
Additional Rent hereunder.

failure to provide any required services. Services may be discontinued due to
accident, repairs, strikes, acts of God, or any other event beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall not be liable for
such failure or discontinuance, nor shall such failure or discontinuance be
construed as a constructive eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of Rent.
(c) PAYMENT BY TENANT. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency
and directly to the applicable supplier, for all services and utilities supplied
to the Premises and separately metered, together with any taxes thereon. If any
services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of all charges jointly metered with other space in the Project.

monitoring systems and other services provided directly to premises.

(10) days after delivery to Tenant of a statement in writing setting forth the
amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant's personal property.
9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Tenant will comply at all times, and be
responsible for the compliance by its employees, assigns, agents, subcontractors
and any others acting for it, with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
regulations, permits, license, certificates and any approvals of any type
relative to any and all of the operations or activities Tenant or others under
Tenant's control will conduct at or upon the Premises.
Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any reports made to any
environmental agency arising in connection with the operations to be performed
at the Premises, as well as any complaints, notices, warnings or asserted
violations which relate to the Premises communicated to Tenant, its employees,
assigns, agents, subcontractors, or any others acting for it, by any
governmental agency. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with copies of all
such reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations. Tenant
further warrants and agrees that no substance regarded as hazardous under the

Property, except for such hazardous materials that are used or produced in the
ordinary course of Tenant's business, provided that such hazardous materials
shall be used, stored, handled, and disposed of in strict conformity to the
regulations and requirements governing such activities. At all times during the
Term and upon the earlier of the expiration or
7
<PAGE>
termination of the Term, Tenant agrees to keep and maintain the Premises and
the Property free of contamination from any substances regarded as hazardous
under CERCLA.
After prior notice to the Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to
contest by appropriate legal proceedings (in the name of Tenant) at Tenant's
sole cost and expense and with counsel of Tenant's own choosing, the validity of
any law, ordinance, order, rule, regulations, or requirement with which, by the
terms of this Lease, Tenant is obligated to comply. If by the terms of any such
law, ordinance, order, rules, regulation, or requirement, compliance therewith
may be legally held in abeyance without incurring any lien or charge or record
against the Premises, and without subjecting Landlord to any fines, penalties,
or any other liability for failure to comply therewith. Tenant may postpone
compliance until the final determination of any such proceedings, provided that
all proceedings shall be prosecuted with due diligence. If upon final
determination Tenant is required to so comply then Tenant will promptly comply
and pay the cost of such compliance even if such determination is made after the
end of the term of this Lease.

for such risk, without respect to the causation thereof.
(b) Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any
damage to the physical property of the other party caused by fire or other
perils insured against by such other party's fire and/or "all-risk" property
insurance carried and maintained pursuant to the terms of this Lease, only to
the extent that such insurance is valid and collectible. Each party shall cause
each fire and/or "all-risk" property insurance policy obtained by it to provide
that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against
either party in connection with any damage covered by such policy. If any such
insurance policy cannot be obtained with a waiver of subrogation without payment
of an additional premium charge above that charged by the insurance companies
issuing such policies without waiver of subrogation, the party receiving the
benefit shall elect to either forfeit the benefit or shall pay such additional
premium to the insurance carrier requiring such additional premium.
(c) Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to be
rendered to Landlord, shall indemnify, defend, and save harmless Landlord from
and against any and all liabilities, claims, penalties, forfeitures, and suits,
and the costs and expenses incident thereto, including costs of defense,
settlements, and reasonable attorney's fees, due to injury to any person or
property arising out of or in any way connected with the condition or use of the
Premises or Property, or the improvements or personal property therein or
thereon, including without limitation any liability or injury to the person or
property of Tenant, its agents, officers, employees, guests or invitees. By way
of illustration and not of limitation, Tenant shall indemnify, save harmless,
and defend Landlord from and against any and all liabilities, claims, penalties,
forfeitures, and suits, and the costs and expenses incident thereto, including
costs of defense, settlements, and reasonable attorney's fees, which Landlord
may hereafter incur, become responsible for, or pay out as a result of death or
bodily injury to any person, destruction or damage to any property,
contamination of or adverse effects on the environment, or any violation of
governmental laws, regulations, or orders, caused by (a) Tenant's failure to
comply with any federal, state, or local law, (b) any negligent or willful act
or claim under the

this Lease. For purposes of this indemnity, any acts or omission (whether or
not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly
attributable to Tenant whether performed by it or by employees, agents,
assignees, subcontractors, or others acting for Tenant. Nothing contained
herein shall absolve Landlord from any liability in connection with the
willful or gross negligent acts or omissions of Landlord, its employees,
agents, assignees, subcontractors, or others acting for Landlord. Tenant
shall have no obligation to indemnify Landlord for the willful or gross
negligent acts or omissions of Landlord, its employees, agents, assignees,

to the use of the Premises upon the signing of this Lease. Tenant, as a
material part of the consideration to be rendered to Landlord, hereby waives all
claims against Landlord for damages to goods, wares, merchandise and loss of

harmless from any and all damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties,
claims, litigation, or demands which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred
by, or asserted against Tenant and which arise out of the failure of the

option in this Lease.

remedies herein set forth.
(e) The Landlord, as consideration in connection with such
transfer, assignment, or subletting, shall be entitled to receive sixty
percent (60%) of all consideration (the excess and/or differential of the

below) and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided,
however, that if Landlord's repairs are not completed within one hundred

quasipublic use, under any statute, or by right of eminent domain, except as
provided in subparagraph (c) hereof, this Lease shall terminate on the date

taking. If this lease remains in effect the Tenant shall be entitled to an
18
<PAGE>
abatement of Rent and Additional Rent proportionate to the area of the
Premises taken, or, at its option, receive that portion of the award for such
taking which represents compensation for the value of the Tenant's leasehold
estate for the original term or any exercised extension thereof demised
hereunder in which case Tenant shall continue to pay in full the Rent and
Additional Rent when due.
(d) DAMAGES. The Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire
award or awards in any condemnation proceeding without deduction therefrom
for any estate vested in the Tenant and the Tenant shall receive no part of
such award or awards from the Landlord or in the proceedings except as

this Lease of the Tenant's improvements and alterations to the Premises,
depreciated as allowed by law or otherwise proven from the date of
installation thereof to the date of the taking, minus the amount of
Landlord's allowance, if any, provided the same shall have been installed by

Lease; (ii) the value of the Tenant's fixtures, minus the amount of
Landlord's allowance, if any; (iii) the cost of moving to new premises; and

by Landlord and approved by Tenant for the purpose, proceed with reasonable
diligence to repair, alter, and restore the Premises as a complete
architectural unit of substantially the same proportionate usefulness,
design, and construction existing immediately prior to the date of taking,
except that the Landlord may elect to reconstruct the interior of the
Premises either in accordance with the original specification or in
accordance with single line control drawings and specifications furnished by
Tenant. If Landlord agrees to so rebuild the Premises in accordance with
Tenant's specifications, then no later than thirty (30) days before
commencement of such repair and reconstruction, the Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord a sum equal to the difference between an independent architect of
Landlord's estimate of (i) the cost to be incurred by the Landlord to
complete reconstruction of the Premises in accordance with Tenant's
specifications, and (ii) the cost that the independent architect estimates
would have been incurred had Landlord reconstructed the Premises in
accordance with the original construction drawings and specifications
applicable to the Premises (as such improvements may have been altered by
Landlord during the term prior to the taking) to the extent that such
improvements have been constructed for the Tenant by the Landlord, at the
Landlord's expense, prior to and during the term hereof, provided, however,
that Landlord shall pay the difference between the actual cost incurred by
Landlord to complete reconstruction in accordance with Tenant's
specifications and the sum paid by Tenant pursuant hereto within fifteen (15)
days after completion of such reconstruction and delivery of the Premises to
Tenant.

(g) TRANSFER IN LIEU. Taking by condemnation or eminent domain
hereunder shall include the exercise of any similar governmental power and
any sale, transfer, or other disposition of the Premises in lieu of or under

20. DEFAULT BY TENANT.
(a) EVENT OF DEFAULT DEFINED. The following events (herein
referred to as an "Event of Default") shall constitute a default by Tenant
hereunder:
(i) Tenant's failure to pay (without notice) when due the
Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other sums payable hereunder within five
(5) business days of when it is due; or
(ii) Tenant's neglect or failure to perform or observe any of
the other covenants herein contained on Tenant's part to be performed or
observed and Tenant's failure to remedy the same within thirty (30) days
after Landlord shall have mailed to Tenant written notice specifying such
neglect or failure, or such further period as Tenant may reasonably require
so long as Tenant commences to cure such default within such thirty (30) day
cure period and diligently proceeds to effectuate such cure thereafter; or
(iii) Tenant shall violate the provisions of Paragraph 17 with
respect to involuntary assignment, or Tenant's assignee or sublessee shall
violate the provisions of said Paragraph regarding further assignment or
subletting.
(b) REMEDIES. Upon an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may at
any time thereafter, in its sole discretion, without limiting Landlord in the
exercise of a right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such
default or breach, elect to pursue one or more of the following remedies,
which are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by
law:
(i) Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and
effect, and the Lease will continue in effect as long as Landlord does not
terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to
collect rent when due. During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord can
enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for
Tenant's account. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in mitigation of damages
as required by law. Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer than the
remaining term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent due
under this Lease on the dates the rent is due, less the rent Landlord
receives from reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this Paragraph shall
terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to
terminate this Lease. After Tenant's default and for as long as Landlord
does not terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall
have the right to assign or, with Landlord's consent, sublet the Premises,
but Tenant shall not be released from liability therefrom. Landlord's
consent to a subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld.
If Landlord elects to relet the Premises as provided in this Paragraph,
rent that Landlord receives from reletting shall be applied to the payment
of-.
20
<PAGE>
(A) First, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other
than rent due from Tenant;
(B) Second, all reasonable costs, including any costs
and expenses incurred in preparing the Premises for reletting, incurred by
Landlord in mitigation of damages as required by law;
(C) Third, rent due and unpaid under this Lease.
After deducting the payments referred to in this Paragraph, any sums remaining
from the rent that Landlord receives from reletting shall be held by Landlord
and applied in payment of future rent as rent becomes due under this Lease. In
no event shall Landlord be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord.
If, on the date rent is due under this Lease, the rent received from the
reletting is less than the rent due on that date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
in addition to the remaining rent due, all costs, including for maintenance,
Landlord incurred in reletting that remain after applying the rent received from
the reletting as provided in this Paragraph.
(ii) Landlord can terminate Tenant's right to possession of
the Premises at any -time. No act by Landlord other than giving notice to
Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance or efforts to relet
the Premises shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to
possession. On termination, Landlord shall have the right to recover from
Tenant:
(A) The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid
rent that had been earned at the time of the termination of the Lease-,
(B) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by
which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of
termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the
loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(C) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by
which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided; and
(D) Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to
compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default.
As used in subparagraphs (A) and (B) above, the "worth at the time of the
award" is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate an
individual can charge. As used in subparagraph (C) above, the "worth at the
time of the award" is to be computed by discounting the amount at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the
award, plus one percent (1%).
(iii) Landlord, at any time after an Event of Default, can
cure the default at Tenant's cost. If Landlord at any time, by reason of a
breach of this Lease by Tenant, pays any sum or does any act that requires
the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately
from Tenant to Landlord, together with interest thereon at the
21
<PAGE>
maximum rate an individual can charge from the date the sum is paid by Landlord
until reimbursed by Tenant. The sum, together with interest thereon, shall
be Additional Rent.
(iv) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available
to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of California.
21. LANDLORD'S BREACH, TENANT'S REMEDIES. Landlord shall be in
default of this Lease if Landlord fails or refuses to perform any provision of
this Lease that it is obligated to perform if the failure to perform is not
cured within thirty (30) days after notice of the default has been given by
Tenant to Landlord. If the default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty
(30) days, Landlord shall not be in default of this Lease if Landlord commences
to cure the default within the thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good
faith continues to cure the default.
Tenant, at any time after the Landlord commits a default, and as its sole
remedy therefor, can cure the default at Landlord's cost. If Tenant at any
time, by reason of Landlord's default, pays any sum or does any act that
requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Tenant shall be due immediately
from Landlord to Tenant, together with interest thereon at the maximum rate an
individual can charge from the date the sum is paid by Tenant until reimbursed

subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust now placed on the Project and to
any renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement or extension of such
mortgage or deed of trust. This clause shall be self-operative, and no further
instrument of subordination shall be required. Within five (5) days after

desirable to confirm the subordination of this Lease. Landlord is hereby
irrevocably appointed agent and attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute all such
subordination instruments in the event Tenant fails to execute said instruments
within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord demanding the execution

cost and expense, to place a sign on the Project monument/directional signage,

withheld or delayed.
24. BROKERS. Landlord and Tenant represents that they have dealt only
with Pacific Equity Partners, LLC ("Broker") in the negotiation of this Lease.

Broker, defined as a broker assisting the Landlord or Tenant and/or both
throughout this real estate transaction with communication, advice, negotiation,
contracting and closing without being an agent or advocate for any of the
parties. The parties to a transaction are not legally responsible for the
actions of a Transaction Broker and a Transaction Broker does not owe those
parties the duties of an agent.

However, a Transaction Broker does owe the parties a number of statutory
obligations and responsibilities, including using reasonable skill and care
in the performance of any oral or written agreement. A Transaction Broker
must also make the same disclosures as agents about adverse material facts
concerning a property or a buyer's financial ability to perform the terms of
a transaction and whether the buyer intends to occupy the property. No
written agreement is required.

earlier termination of the Lease.

or a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or
condition therein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by
